Famous quotes containing the words production and/or commerce:

    “The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
